Labour is calling for an independent inquiry into how a prisoner was able to escape from a London jail while awaiting trial for terror offences.
- one of the UK's largest - under a food truck.
Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, said the government"has questions to answer" regarding staffing and national security arrangements.and Alex Chalk, the justice secretary, should launch an independent investigation. "I hope he will announce some kind of independent investigation when he comes, I assume will come, to parliament this morning in order to answer on this," Ms Cooper added.
Ms Cooper said the government needed to explain"issues around staffing and the arrangements for the national security prisoners and where they are being held". She added:"In particular we need to know why this individual was moved from Belmarsh, the highest security prison to Wandsworth, which is a lower security prison, as well as why the proper security checks weren't in place on a van leaving the prison."
